The third part of the bloody war, Chapter 9, Running, Section 2, the battle after the war

Faced with such a "rogue", Zhuang Jihua was speechless, but overall, Chen G's reply made him very pleased. Yan'an agreed to let him command Chen G's troops, which is of great significance to opening a new chapter of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, although the conditions offered by the other party are not low.

"I still have to report this matter to the principal," Zhuang Jihua thought about it again and again, feeling that this matter must be reported to Chiang Kai-shek. After all, the number of military pay must be approved by the Military Commission, especially the equipment and military pay: "About the food, I don't have that much, I can give you another million kilograms of food, but at least one month."

"Okay, then let's make up." Chen G actually knew that he had just obtained two million kilograms of grain, and Zhuang Jihua really couldn't make more grain.

"Is it a matter of your decision?" Zhuang Jihua shook his head and did not take advantage of Chen G: "If the principal doesn't approve it, it's a dream. By the way, how many troops do you have now? It doesn't include those north of the Yellow River."

"Thirty thousand." Chen Geng replied without changing his expression.

The army number is the most embarrassing thing that made Zhuang Jihua the most. The year before yesterday he came to negotiate with Zhou En. The Eighth Route Army was expanded into two armies and six divisions (three A and three B), the New Fourth Army was expanded into three B divisions, and the Eighth Route Army was expanded. He L and Liu Bcheng served as commanders. The three A divisions were Chen G115th Division Chen Bjun's 120th Division Chen G129th Division Chen G127th Division, and the Three B divisions were Yang Cwu 328th Division of Song Shilun 327th Division of Xiao 6th Division; Ye Ting was still the commander of the New Fourth Army, and the three divisions below were Tan Zhenlin's 402nd Division of Luo Binghui of Chen y401st Division.

However, this is openly included in the combat sequence of the Military Commission. In fact, both the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army have formed many guerrilla detachments. The leaders of these guerrilla detachments are all Red Army generals who have gone through the Long March or the three-year guerrilla war. The troops are also field troops, and they have strong combat effectiveness.

Chen G's troops were actually organized, and they were organized by the A Division. The Military Commission had clear records. Now he was here to organize again, which made Zhuang Jihua feel embarrassed.

"Chen g, aren't you the commander of the 129th Division? What else do you need to do?" Considering Chiang Kai-shek's reaction, Zhuang Jihua did not dare to agree easily.

"Not anymore, old classmate, your news is a bit unfavorable," Chen G cried with a sad face, his mentality was very relaxed, and his expression was very sad: "I was dismissed last year. Last year, I suffered a loss from Okamura Niji in southern Ji, and my position as a teacher was gone. Old classmate, I depended on you this time. You have to help me get a teacher back."

Zhuang Jihua was a little amused. Chen G actually opened his bloody mouth and asked for the commander at once. He used all his strength to help GCD get the nine divisions. Now he actually asked for one division. He thought Chiang Kai-shek too generously.

"It seems that the party is not aware of talents. An old classmate is not even a teacher. Mr. Mao's vision is not ordinary." Zhuang Jihua sarcastically said.

The two of them spoke with an old classmate at the same time. They seemed very close, but in fact they didn't give in. Xiao Zhenying became more and more interested in listening to it, but he didn't say a word. He knew very well that he couldn't speak in this matter.

In fact, according to Zhuang Jihua's intention, the number of a division is nothing great, but he had to consider Chiang Kai-shek's reaction. Providing food to Chen G had already made Chiang Kai-shek very dissatisfied. If he gave another division, Chiang Kai-shek would be unacceptable, and Chen Cheng and Chen Lifu would take the opportunity to make a fuss.

"Is this good? I can't get the regular army's number," Zhuang Jihua didn't dare to give in, and felt that there was no need to give in. Chiang Kai-shek could not give in: "The principal will definitely not give in, but the war zone has the right to appoint the guerrilla detachment and the civilian army. I will give you a guerrilla unit number, and the equipment is equivalent to the B division, but the military pay is reduced by half."

The establishment of regular troops must be approved by the Military Commission, but many spontaneous anti-Japanese organizations appeared in the war. In order to control these organizations, Chiang Kai-shek once authorized various war zones to incorporate and form guerrillas and self-defense troops. However, the military committee did not pay military salaries for this type of troops, and the war zones would solve the problem on their own. With this authorization, many guerrillas were expanded in each war zone. For example, the final death squads jointly established by Yan Xishan and GCD belonged to this kind of troops.

"You old classmate, really...," Chen G shook his head, quickly calculating the gains and losses in his heart: "Well, this is OK, but this is only temporary. After a while, you still have to get me a division commander. By the way, weapons and ammunition are not missing."

Zhuang Jihua immediately drafted an order and granted Chen G's troops the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps of the Jiangbei War Zone. The commander Chen G, deputy commander Huang Kcheng, chief of staff Peng xfeng, and director of the political department Xie Fzhi. Zhuang Jihua ignored the following organization. Chen G himself determined that Zhuang Jihua would sign it. This guerrilla Corps is actually a division organization. Except for the name of guerrilla, the other settings are no different from the regular army.

After giving the organization, the equipment was naturally required. Zhuang Jihua moved some of the supplies from the Sichuan Army and the Forty-Ninth Group Army and handed them over to Chen G to develop the troops themselves. Chen G got these supplies and expanded the troops to 30,000 (excluding the troops led by Huang Kcheng north of the Yellow River). He set up three detachments under the corps in a big way, each with three brigades and three regiments under each. In this way, he established an army.

Of course this is a later story. However, Zhuang Jihua still reported the matter discussed with Chen G to Chiang Kai-shek, but he concealed the provision of weapons and food again, just a report. Through the last time the provision of food and ammunition, Chen G now agreed to accept the command of the Jiangbei War Zone Command. In addition, he reiterated in the telegram that the importance of the enemy-behind forces of the Eighth Route Army's New Fourth Army's enemy-behind forces to counterattack. The acquisition of Chen G's troops set a precedent for the establishment of the remaining GCD troops in the future.

If Chiang Kai-shek was not interested in the recruitment of the GCD troops, he always had a sarcastic reputation for Chen G. After all, Chen G saved him during the Second Eastern Expedition, so he was very excited about Chen G's "return". He also thought that Zhuang Jihua did not give a number, but only gave the guerrilla corps. The special telegram added the rank of Lieutenant General Chen G, which made Chen G feel very embarrassed (Zhuang Jihua was a general, and Chen G thought he should not be worse than him).

After staying in Minquan for half a month, I processed the grain warehouse and inspected the production self-rescue work. Of course, the biggest gain was the incorporation of Chen G and Zhuang Jihua set off for Shangqiu.

Shangqiu has a relatively good foundation. Four years ago, Zhuang Jihua carried out social reforms here, established initial grassroots organizations, and promoted rent reductions. After he left, Li Zongren insisted on his approach. After the fall, there were always Kuomintang guerrillas here. Although the grassroots organizations suffered great losses, most of them persisted. The Kuomintang has a relatively good mass base here.

During the reconstruction, Shangqiu was assigned to the 21st Army Defense Zone. Li Pinxian placed the most elite Seventh Army in Shangqiu. In addition to the Seventh Army, Shangqiu also had an army, which was nominally led by the Kuomintang and actually led by the Third Party. After the revival, this army was reorganized into a newly formed 110th Division. The division commander Xie Zixing and the total strength of the entire division was 12,000.

Xie Zixing persisted in the War of Resistance in the junction of Shandong and Henan for three years and had a relatively high prestige in this area. During this disaster relief, Li Pinxian asked him to serve as the county magistrate of Shangqiu and presided over the work of the whole county. After Xie Zixing took office, he restored disaster relief and production while rebuilt local grassroots organizations. When Zhuang Jihua arrived, some vitality had already appeared in Shangqiu area.

"Good job," Zhuang Jihua looked at the fields where the seedlings had been planted and praised with great satisfaction: "Shangqiu is the best area I have seen, I will do my own thing, I think you are the provincial chairman."

Xie Zixing was a little uncomfortable with the major general's uniform. He kicked the stones on the side of the way with leather boots. His thin left cheek had a scar, his jaw was unshaven, and his eyes were wild.

"The main reason is that the foundation was good at the beginning, and the people supported us. With the order, the whole county mobilized without obstacles." Xie Zixing was very modest, but it was the truth. When Shangqiu was rebuilt, the troops of the Fifth War Zone invested huge strength, and the appointment of Shangqiu still remembered.

"Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world and will remain unchanged forever," Zhuang Jihua sighed very much. He did not expect that the seeds sown in those days were not forgotten by the people: "Those people should be asked to come to Shangqiu to see them, and they will know the importance of disaster relief and reconstruction today."

In the Jiangbei War Zone, many generals were very dissatisfied with compressing military rations to rescue disasters, believing that the soldiers should be guaranteed first, and then the people should be the people. It was only because of Zhuang Jihua's great prestige that they dared not take any specific actions, but they secretly resisted a lot. Zhuang Jihua's trip also had some reasons for this.

"By the way, there is a Mr. Guan Ziwu in Yucheng. How is he doing now?" Zhuang Jihua thought of Mr. Guan who was foolish in Yucheng back then, and asked.

"He died. After the fall, he led his housekeeper Qingzhuang to join the guerrillas and died last year."

"Oh, it's a pity," Zhuang Jihua felt very regretful: "I remember he seems to have two sons. Is he in your army?"

"All of them were sacrificed. The eldest son died two years ago, and the younger son and the old man died together." Xie Zixing looked a little sad. The war behind enemy lines was in danger and sacrificed a lot. Their troops were only one or two left since the beginning of the hundreds of people.

"We have a heavy price, and they did not sacrifice in vain." Zhuang Jihua sighed after being silent for a long time, thinking a lot. These ordinary people are destined to not leave their names in history, and they are destined to be forgotten, but it is them who sacrifice their lives, shed their blood, and continue to save the entire nation. They should not be forgotten.

"You sort out the deeds of the housekeeper and report them to the Jiangbei War Zone Command. I will apply for a letter of merit from the National Government."
